In 1988, two years before the formation of Dayglo Fishermen,
Richard Burton and Peter Fothergill began writing and recording music
together for the first time. What was initially intended to be a single
album project turned into an extraordinary six-year six-album venture.

Although all the albums were released under the name 'Richard Burton' each one was very much a joint project for Richard and Peter and featured numerous guest musicians, vocalists and artists.

Even after the formation of Dayglo Fishermen in 1990,
Richard and Peter continued their own work in parallel, helping fuel their
imagination and drive, and forming the early template for the unique style
and structure of Dayglo Fishermen's current music.
